Resources for research and education

Page reviewed:  17/06/2025

The Swedish LIvestock Research Centre is an important resource for research in and education on farm animals.

Resources for quality-assured research in:

  • animal welfare, behaviour and health,
  • animal environment and care and building function,
  • sustainable and climate-smart food production.

The facilities for cattle, pigs and poultry represent technology at the forefront of development. The research centre has personnel with expertise in production, research and education. This gives you a resource, which shows you the possibilities and safeguards your trials.

The research centre has many examples of adaptations that make the facility extra suitable for research and education. Much of this concerns gathering and registering data for the research, but there are also opportunities to shape the facility according to educational needs.


In the cattle facility there are plenty of extra cow alleys and separation possibilities. There are also many complementary resources:

  • teaching stall
  • box stall
  • preparation room
  • small laboratory
  • area for feed trials
  • resource for farm autopsy

Students and researchers have their own spaces at their disposal on the facility for, for example, teaching and lunch and overnight accomodation.
